The BMO Equal Weight Banks Index ETF (ZEB-T) has garnered mixed reviews from experts, underscoring the resilience and performance of Canadian banks amidst macroeconomic uncertainties. Many experts acknowledge the strong dividend yields and well-capitalized nature of these institutions, though caution is advised regarding potential economic slowdowns. While some suggest taking profits due to high valuations, others advocate for a long-term hold, indicating that dips may offer good buying opportunities. Experts emphasized that Canadian banks are set to benefit from positive trends in the resource sector and ongoing demand for financial services, despite higher credit provisions and loan demand constraints. Overall, while the sector remains a solid choice for income-oriented investors, the timing for new investments appears uncertain.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 16/11. Up 6.94%.) Thinks it is a good time to be doing Covered Calls on some of the banks now.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 7/11. Up 7.34%.) This was a seasonal trade from the beginning of October through to the end of December. This one did not work out well and the trade was not effective. He got out when it started to underperform.
TOP PICK
Banks don't tend to start moving until usually the fall. However, he really likes the pattern that the banks have made in the last month or so. If consolidated and he thinks they are ready to move. He won't actually buy and tell it breaks out.
BUY
Likes this product. Will normally use this on his own. Does covered call ratings on individual bank stocks.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 1/11. Down 9.58%.) Still a Buy. Wrote to the upside on the down trend line.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Oct 7/11, Up 3.20%) Great seasonal trade until the end of the year. Take profits next week.
BUY
Equal Weight Bank ETF. This has all 6 of the major Canadian banks and is a good one. About 3.5% yield.
TOP PICK
Equal Weight Bank ETF. He wanted to overweight the banks. Rather than buying individual banks, he bought this and didn't write calls. Also bought some of the Canadian oils and this is how he added about 6% to his overall equity positions.
TOP PICK
Equal Weight Bank ETF. Sweet spot is from October 9th to Dec 31st. Currently it is developing a nice support level and looks like it is ready to do something on the upside.
TOP PICK
Equal Weight Bank ETF. You currently get around 3.75% dividend. This is a way of investing in the banks without having to pick an individual one. You're basically getting paid while you wait.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 28/11. Up 0.91%.) Equal Weight Bank ETF. Got out at the beginning of April. Saw weakness in the US banks.
COMMENT
Equal Weight Bank ETF. Why does the dividend jump around so much? Doesn’t know why the dividend has been cut but he prefers ZCB-T (?) as a product instead.
TOP PICK
Equal Weight Bank ETF. Banks have been lagging and are just emerging. This gives you a basket. Chart shows a consolidation in2010 and a breakout in 2011.
TOP PICK
Equal Weight Bank ETF. Banks do well from October until the end of December and then form Jan 23rd to April 12th. This applies to both US and Canadian banks. Technically chart shows a very positive trend with an ascending triangle. It popped above the $17.30 line on Jan 23rd. He plans on holding it until mid-April.
BUY
Gives you the basket of banks. Is a pretty prudent way of owning the banks.
